Jaguar Land Rover has announced it will build a new engine at its manufacturing plant near Wolverhampton.

The move will see in-house designers and engineers build the new three-litre petrol unit at its £1 billion Engine Manufacturing Centre on the outskirts of the city, expanding its 'Ingenium' family of engines.

The engine will first be used in the Range Rover Sport and provide a welcome boost to the company which has been dogged by negative headlines in recent weeks.
